Different situation

Board Member Sun Shimura, chair of the Provincial Public Safety, Peace and Order, also does not see the need to legislate because the situation in the province is different from Cebu City as far as apartments are concerned.

Analysis

Meanwhile, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency-7 has recommended subjecting the drugs in the November 30 operation to analysis to know if it has the same contents as the shabu found in magnetic lifters in Manila.

This, following belief that the recent haul was part of the drug sham that rocked the Bureau of Customs, as the magnetic lifters containing drugs were able to pass through security despite red flags from intelligence reports.

“Kahibalo ka if we are just talking kato mga three kilos, all pinpointing didto. We have reason to believe but we do not have evidences, ours though are just presumption and analysis,” Police Regional Office in Central Visayas director, Chief Superintendent Debold Sinas said in an ambush interview yesterday.

PDEA-7 Director Wardley Getalla echoed his suspicions since report from their national office reportedly says drugs from magnetic lifters have reached to distant places.

And knowing that Central Visayas is located at a strategic point for shipment and other mode of transportation, it is logical to believe that some of the drugs have reached the region, said Getalla.
